Muhammad Amir comes back and gets Afridi first ball
Amir bowled a simple ball and there was just that hint of a movement that causes Afridi his wicket. It was the first ball of a fresh spell from Amir.
Afridi was on 62. He faced 40 balls before this one, hit 5 fours and 4 sixes. He was settled and scoring against every bowler and then Amir came in and bowled him out on the first ball. Call that a cricketing story.
When Chittagong Vikings captain Tamim Iqbal had seen Afridi’s stumps being thrashed by Amir he must have thought to himself well that was simple. Bring back Amir every time a wicket is needed and the young gun will provide you one for sure.

Afridi played well for his 62 but against Amir he will have to come better in the next games. Amir will not give him loose balls to be hit for boundaries.
